Coach Stephen Edwards claims that the year, apart from the Terenka Crawford ring, will not negatively affect his performance against Canelo Alvarez on September 13. Edwards emphasizes that Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) has never shown rust rust for many years, when he was inactive, and believes that he would not hurt his performance against the unquestioned master of the super medium medium weight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO) in his mega-wave.
Crawford can’t hurt Canelo
Fans believe that 37-year-old Crawford shoots at the foot, sitting off the beaten track, giving power to massif and choosing not testing against the best 168-Funt player to prepare for Alvarez.
“I always like Crawford in battle. I think Crawford will win,” said coach Stephen Edwards Fight Hub tvChoosing Terence Crawford over Canelo Alvarez in their fight on September 13. “I just think it will be too much. Yes,” Canello has a great chin, but everyone can be hurt every night. “
Crawford will not hurt Canelo. Let’s get to it now. It does not hit enough, and if he sticks out, trying to knock out the Mexican star, he will be on the shooting line to be blown up. Canelo fought Gennadiy Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith and Dmitry Bivol three times to mention only a few fighters with much more power than Terenka.
Effortless Crawford opponents after release
“Every time it arranges, he never looks rusty,” said Edwards, asked if Crawford’s inaction would be a factor against Canelo. “He is one of those guys who never look rusty. This applies to many fighters, but they oppose logic because it doesn’t look rusty in their releases.”
Edwards conveniently does not mention the level of opposition Crawford fought after his long release. He didn’t fight any killers. The best warrior Terenka fought in the last five years, with his free time, is Israil Madrimov and deserved a lost fight in the eyes of many fans. Canelo says he saw Madrimov as a winner. Crawford fought with Errol Spence, Kell Brook and Shawn Porter, falling off from long layoffs, but everyone was washed off.
None of them was near the place where they were when they were in the best condition. This would be a different story if Crawford returned from his four dismissals against the killers, such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Dmitry Bivol, Jaron Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Janibek Alimkhanuly and David Benavidez.
Crawford had five extended exemptions from 11 months to 1 year from 2019. The only exception was his last fight with Israil Madrimov, which he probably lost, but he received victory.
History of Crawford’s exemptions since 2019
December 14, 2019 vs Egidijus Kavaliauskas November 14, 2020 vs. Need Brook – November 20, 2021 vs. Shawn Porter – December 10, 2022 vs. David Avaneyan – July 29, 2023 vs. Errol Spence – August 3, 2024 vs. Israil Madrimov –
“It seems that he has a very rapid processing mind. It seems that it can adapt to everything,” said Edwards about Crawford. “He is like a Savior on a boxing ring. He probably can’t even explain how he adapts to everything. He can simply adapt to everything in the fight. He is a great warrior.”
Who is Crawford to adapt to? When you fight such guys as Avanesian, the car accident broke Spence and his main porter passed, you don’t say much that you can adapt to what they do.
Signs of the fall of Crawford
“Sure,” Edwards said asked if Crawford has any advantages about Canelo. “Better strength, better condition and better feet. Of course, Canelo is a more hard puncher and probably a stronger guy. But I think he [Crawford] It has better dexterity and greater agility. It will be better in later rounds. He is a little higher and his arms are longer. Yes, I think he has many advantages. “
Stephen is right that Crawford has better strength, arm length and height than Canelo. However, he did not look so agile or skillful in his fight with Israil Madrimov. He looked as if he had rust in the joints from idleness. This happens when the warrior takes a year free between fights for five consecutive years. If Crawford was busy, fighting three times a year, he would not have this problem.
“I do not agree with this. I think Crawford will be a stronger warrior in later rounds. I think the early part of the fight is a place where he must be careful,” said Edwards. “I think that the early part of the fight can be cut, if it is not cautious. But I think it works better in later rounds than Canelo.”
Crawford did not look mighty in 11 and 12 rounds against “Little GGG” Israil Madrimov in August last year. He brightened his right hands and resembled a 40-year-old. There was nothing mighty in the way Crawford looked in the last two rounds and definitely did not look youthful, unless you compare it to one of the long -lasting Huge pool treeswho are over 4000 years elderly.
Richardson Hitchins, a airy champion of IBF Lithe Waiter in weight, works tough to enhance George Cambosos Jr., reminding fans of his previous achievements to create a noise during their June 14 fight in the theater in Madison Square Garden in Novel York. The event will be shown live in Dazn.
The fans were largely critics of this fight, perceived Hitchins (19-0, 7 KO) as manually choosing the disappearing united airy champion Cambosos (22-3, 10 KO), who fights the record with the record of 2-3 in his five fights. For this reason, he is 100% unworthy of the title shot and he fought only once since she moved to 140. It was against the warrior of the second level Jake Wyllie.
Justification for the choice of Cambosos struggle
Hitchins claims that the victory against Cambosos will “strengthen” his name in the world of boxing. Sounds naive. Cambosos will do nothing for Hitchins. It was better to give Liam Paro a rematch or fight Oscar Duarte, Sandor Martin or Subriel Matias.
“Cambosos cannot be overlooked. Everyone wanted to see me and Teofimo Lopez. We couldn’t get it. He had a duty. They decided to go this way,” said Richardson Hitchins Sports media YSM When asked why he chose George Cambosos Jr. on the next opponent. “Why not get a guy who defeated Teofimo Lopez? Cambosos. He is a former unquestionable master [Correction: Kambosos is a former three-belt unified lightweight champion]. “
It was a mistake for Hitchins to take this fight with Cambosos Jr., because it is perceived as a joke, and people criticize him for the fight. Hitchins would be better to fight the best possible pretender if he couldn’t get a unification fight. Cambosos is not the best available pretender. He fought only once from the time he moved to 140, and this was against a lower level warrior, Jake Wyllie.
“He never lost anyone but guys who are at the top of boxing. He also had a great win over Teofimo Lopez. It’s a fight to prove himself,” said Hitchins about Cambosos. “Liam Paro was supposed to beat me. Then they were supposed to have Liam Paro and George Cambosos in Australia. I broke their plans.”
For Richardson, he will not work to build Cambosos so that fans give him more recognition for taking this fight. People already perceive Cambosos as one hit with mediocre ability. He lost three of the last five fights, and his only wins from 2022 appeared against Maxi Hughes and Jak Whyllie.
Hitchins’ faith in Cambosos wins
“When Richardson Hitchins is fighting Cambosos, I am [cherry] gathering. It’s boxing. George Cambosos is a substantial name. It is a step closer to fixing my name in boxing sport. The guys say, “Get Subriel Matias.” I know that Matias brings a threat, but I don’t think Matias will fight anyone close to my level, “said Hitchins. “All substantial names in 140 and so went to 147. So why not. I do not want to keep IBF and continue the 10-pound hydration clause.”
When complaining that Hitchins is doing the rehydration of IBF, he should simply drop the belt and get up. He may regret it if he fights the unification match with WBA champion Gary Antuanne Russell or WBC master Alberto Puello. Russell probably defeated him, and Puello would be a substantial problem for him.
“Liam Paro defeated Matias easily. If we can’t get Teofimo, I come to Subriel Matias and want to make his work easier and close everyone. After that I don’t want to hear criticism. If we are not able to commit a great fight, we will go to 147 and see what is happening,” said Hitchins.
Richardson should permanently forget about Teofimo Lopez, because this will never happen. Teo focuses only on the fight for money and will not want to take a risky, low -paid fight with Hitchins when he can earn a lot of money fighting Jaron Ennis, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney. Hitchins should drop his IBF belt and move to 147 and hope that Turks Alalshikh will draw his attention to start fighting with one of these guys.
The chances that Hitchins is fighting Matias are tiny, unless he is open to the idea of fighting him, losing to the WBC Lithe Welter Welter Welter Welter Welter in Alberto Puello. These two are fighting on July 12 at the Louis Armstrong stadium at Queens, Novel York. Matias can lose this fight.
Potential future opponents in 147
“There are many options on the table after George Cambosos. If I can’t find any substantial fights at 140, I will drop the belt and try to get another title shot [at 147]. These are fights that make sense to me, “said Hitchins, when he asked if he would like to fight Haney and Rolando Romero at the age of 147. I hope I can get a chance against Ryan Garcia. I just want to show that Richardson Hitchins is one of the best fighters in boxing sports, “said Hitchins.
Hitchins should start thinking about leaving his title IBF 140-Funt after defense against Cambosos Jr. June 14 and transfer to 147. There are no substantial fights at 140. His dream of the fight against Teofimo Lopez is completely hopeless. It never happens and seems stupid who is favorable for it.
“If I can’t unite at the age of 140, I don’t want to do IBF any further [10-lb rehydration] rule.
3 invincible fights in just over a year. He defeated the invincible world champion freshly after the biggest win in his career – pulling out Boogeyman. Then he takes off the fourth world champion in my CV – everything in less than 20 fights.
I am him! 😤

Few say that Terenca “Bud” Crawford is not one of the great warriors of his generation – perhaps all time. The fact that people will spend good money to see how he faced Kingpin Super Middle, and a colleague legend, Canelo Alvarez, simply shows exactly how talented this man is. Answers were given to all questions about the Crawford skill set when a few years ago he absolutely dominated Errola Spence in the undisputed welterweight title. Do not make a mistake, the guy is heading to Galeria Sław. He was just so good.
I utilize my past time here, because before he enters the ring to face Canelo, it will pass over a year since the last fight of the man. Indeed, Crawford fought about once every twelve months of time. Conventional wisdom of boxing says that this is not the best way to career. On the other hand, there were few warriors who had skills, determination and discipline of Crawford. In other words, if someone could give up fighting once every twelve months, it’s Crawford. However, Canelo is more than a mill’s opponent. There is even more than your ordinary world -class opponent. He is great.
First of all, Canelo is bigger – not very higher – but much larger than Crawford. It will probably count on something. What’s more, Crawford is not a adolescent man he once was. As mentioned many times, the father’s time is invincible. And although it is true that Canelo looks like her first best, he is still an extremely talented warrior with extensive experience with the greatest and best in the industry. If Crawford were more busy in the last few years, such things could not be so disturbing at the moment.
Again, however, we are talking about Crawford, one of the most deliberate athletes in the world. It is difficult to imagine that he would not have at least a melody if he were less than one hundred percent confident in the entrance to the ring to face Canelo. Undoubtedly, Canelo will also be confident. There is a real reason why the red -haired star will be privileged by entering. Some will argue that Canelo decides to fight Crawford to avoid dealing with David Benavidez. However, it is unreasonably to choose Crawford for an simple night work, no matter how long it has passed since the man’s last fight. And it’s doubtful what Canelo would make such a mistake.
The IBF heavyweight champion, Daniel Dubois, is 61 days after the WBA meeting, WBC and WBO Oleksandr Utyk champion in a rematch for the undisputed 19 July championship at Wembley Stadium in London, England. During the last meeting with the promotion of this event, Dubois (22-2, 21 KO) looked noticeably intimidated by Utyt.
Dubois’s trust seems shocked
Daniel’s expression said everything. He knows he can’t win and his career is heading towards trouble. The second loss for Utyk will solve everything that the British warrior has done thanks to his pseudo-rebidling work in the last two years. Return from the second defeat to Oleksandra may not be possible, especially if he gives up again. Fans would never forget the third defeat of this kind.
It can be said that 27-year-old Dubois does not have the same confidence in this fight as in his last three competitions against Anthony Joshua, Filip Hrgovic and Jarrell Miller. Daniel resigned in the ninth place, when it happened when he last fought Usyk in 2019 in Wroclaw in Poland.
Can Dubois overcome the tag “resignation”?
When Usyk began to place him on Dubois in ninth place, he bowed to me, showing that he was not a warrior. For the second time Dubois gave up in battle. Public boxing got stuck with a falling label and is still there.
Although he won his last three fights, he was not in the face of the world -class opposition. Joshua and Miller are washed. Hrgovic has never been tested before, and he defeated the second level fighters to build his CV.
Usyk wants this fight to regain its undisputed heavyweight championship, which makes him a three -time winner of four lanes. It needs these four lanes to escalate the interest of fans of the potential trilogy match with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. This is less crucial for a free boxing fan, if Usyk goes to these fights as the undisputed master, but people with ultra-Hardcore care about it.
“I don’t care especially about reacting to anything that Daniel Dubois says, taking into account that when Daniel challenged AJ, he said that he went to the hospital on a stretcher in an ambulance. SecondsSpeaking of the commentator Tony Bellew. “It seems to me that sometimes he is a nasty b *****. That’s all.”
